9:24 September 11No school buses for Bacliff Villas subdivision this morning. Streets are flooded and impassable by most vehicles.

Streets are very slow to drain off. Our storm drain system is in need of repair. The county is getting ready to work on it, but now it’s strained like during Harvey and more rain to come.

I saw on TV that the street in front of Hughes Road Elementary is flooded. They did not report if McAdams JH was affected too.

Early this morning DISD sent out a phone message that there are no school buses, but school is open. We are under a flash flood alert, streets are flooded, yet schools are open? So far, there was no mention in this story about information from DISD. Do they not have an information official?

Hi Ray, by the time I woke up this morning, Hughes Road was clear. I confirmed that with two sources. DISD said some students might be late, but school was on schedule. Thanks for the other information.

More rain, flooding, and a lot more to come in a short period of time. Can anyone report on what has been done by cities and county, if anything, to alleviate the drainage problems in the county? Drainage lines, bayou's, are any other source that gets the water out to the bay.

Bring them back to original grade/slope specs, get the culverts cleaned out so back to original inside diameter or at least closer to it and IMMEDIATE drainage improvements could be had with ZERO spent on 'studies', which can be done for the bigger projects while actually DOING something to alleviate some...some...drain and flood issues. This effort actually positive and cost effective versus sitting on B-hinds waiting for a 'study' for projects so big they might never get done anyway......

The ditches on this street were, I am told, last cleaned end to end around the 1950's.I can say for sure that the one in front of my house was dug to spec in '91 when we built the house and hasn't seen a Gradall bucket since then.....Co,mplain to the City?I can't even get any interest in a FEMA neighbor who mows his backyard grass once about every year to 15 months, whether it needs it or not.....[angry]

TC street flooding? Who is the idiot that closes the flood gate so a heavy rain can't get out to the bay? When the water is higher in Moses lake than in the bay the gate should be open to let water out. A bureaucrat going by the 'book' has flooded houses that should not have.
